Anyone know who the rabbits are and if this will be a world record attempt?
Anyone know who the rabbits are and if this will be a world record attempt?
I’m fairly confident the pacers are 1) Mounir Akbache 2) Justin Kipkoech, no idea if it’s a WR attempt but fingers crossed.
Akbache is 37 and it doesn’t seem like he could reliably lead 61s for more than about 3 laps. Kipkoech has run 3:34 and 8:13 (2 mile) this year, so with wavelight and motivation he could probably make it halfway in 6:18-6:20, but no guarantees on any further than that.
Akbache is listed so he is the 1rst pacer.
Justin Kipkoech seems to be the 2nd pacer. His pb are 3:34 and 7:38. So it seems unlikely unless one of them is a 3rd pacer that the race will be at WR pace (7:33 for 3000). Kipkoech might reach 2200m at WR pace.
John Wesley Harding has been faster than me.
